Inter Clan Gathering at Inverness Highland Games set to be one of the largest
The Inverness Highland Games will play host to one of the largest inter Clan Gatherings to take place in Scotland in recent years.
A total of 13 clans will be represented in the Highland Heritage tent at the event in Bught Park on July 15, with displays of clan colours, mottos and memorabilia.
Each participating clan will have information on its origin, its history and culture.

The exhibition aims to inform people about the important cultural and social role they had and still have.
Highland Archive Centre, Highland Family History Society and the Inverness Outlanders will also host tables in the tent.
The Association of Highland Clans and Societies – the body which since 2013 has helped represent more than 30 Highland clans – will hold its first ‘post-Covid’ meeting immediately after the games, when a plan and programme for shared learning as well as discussing new initiatives and ideas to promote clan culture and engagement here, and abroad, will take place.
Ross McEwen, acting secretary for the association, said: “Interest and engagement in clan culture around the world has never been so active and vibrant. Here in the Highlands we are very fortunate to have such a vast and enchanting heritage all around us, and the upcoming Inverness Highland Games will be the perfect occasion for the association to recommence its work and engage with stakeholders near and far."
